We're sorry to report the recent passing of a long-time HTI member, Stewart Mason, who was a member for 39 years, and died  on Saturday, June 7th. Stewart was last seen onstage in our 2006 production of MY FAIR LADY. His first show was the 1969 production of SWEET CHARITY, and he performed in many shows since, including our 2005 production of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS for which he won the Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of King Sextimus. Stewart also worked backstage in most areas of the company, including producing, directing, and being on the Board of Directors. He was an INKY member, and continued to work in various capacities for the company until his health declined during this last year. A gathering to celebrate Stewart's life was be held at the HTI Studio on Sunday, July 6 from 1-4.
